Can't start my profile (but others work fine)
Hi, I'm on an updated Arch Linux system.
Something went wrong (maybe testing audio settings with JACK and PulseAudio alternative 'apulse') and Firefox hanged and had to be killed (probably '$ killall -s SIGINT firefox' or something similar).
From that moment I couldn't start again Firefox with my profile. But any other profile works fine.
I've got this:
``` $ killall -s SIGINT firefox $ Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. [GFX1-]: Receive IPC close with reason=AbnormalShutdown Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error.
$ firefox ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 2087 ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal... ```
Already tried --safe-mode but without success. Keeps crashing.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

I copied this terminal output from another crash, but maybe it's not related (I'm adding it just in case):

And I have a copy of the Troubleshooting Information [about:support] at the moment, but it's too long to paste it here. Please let me know if I should upload it somewhere to make it accessible to you.
Best regards.

This issue could be font related where the Firefox sandbox isn't able to access some fonts.
You can try to set security.sandbox.content.level = 2 on the about:config page as a test to see if that has effect.
